Multicultural LC

"The MLC has helped me to branch out and discover new things on campus because I know that when I come back to the floor at the end of the day, it will feel like home."
—Melinda, Multicultural LC

The Multicultural Learning Community is home to diverse first-year students who share a passion for exploring issues of diversity and social justice, including race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and more. As a member of the community you will explore your own identity, develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for others, confront the realities of power, privilege, and oppression, and learn to become an agent for social change.

Discuss your experiences and the experiences of others with diverse students, faculty, and staff to build a deeper cultural understanding and inspire action to create a more just community on campus and beyond.
